Transformer Fire Risk Mitigation

Safety in the engineering environment is increasingly being improved through the use of innovative 3D design. The application of visual aids is contributing to the reduction of project construction and safety risks, while assisting engineers to comply with client and international standards.

Mitigating risks on unmanned substations has always been a concern in the real world, due to the reaction time it takes personnel to reach the substation at the time of an electrical or mechanical failure. Oil spills are largely due to slow oil leaks or due to human error at the time of maintenance or installation. 

Several small but significant changes can be made to current designs to improve the overall design and minimise several of the issues discussed above.
